I appreciate all your responses. SNDPGMMSG is working fine. I still have an
issue with SNDUSRMSG currently being used in an existing program. If need
be I can work around this but need to know why this is not working. I have
tried all your suggestions but for some odd reason SNDUSRMSG is not working
for me. Can anyone please run the following code to see if breaks for a
response.
PGM        PARM(&MSG)
 DCL        VAR(&RPLY) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1)
 DCL        VAR(&MSG)  TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(99)
 SNDUSRMSG  MSG(&MSG) VALUES(Y) MSGTYPE(*INQ) +
              TOMSGQ(*SYSOPR) MSGRPY(&RPLY)

Here's the full program on how to send a message with SNDPGMMSG and on how
to retrieve the response.

You may also want to check the Job Description for the QSYSOPR.  To find
the job description for QSYSOPR check the DSPUSRPRF.  Then check the job
description's "Inquiry Message Reply".  It should be *RQD.    DSPJOBD

Thanks for your response. I tried and still have the same results.
Please can someone use my code and do a quick run. Maybe my default
settings need to be changes.
Thanks again for your help.

Subject: Issue with SNDUSRMSG not breaking for response.
Can any one please let me know what I am missing here? I am using a
simple CL program to send an inquiry message to QSYSOPR message queue.
It sends the message but does not wait for a response. I ran the program
in Debug and the &REPLY value returned is *N. I also tried with a MSGID
CPF9898 but still the same results. I did check the message queue
setting for QSYSOPR and the delivery option is set for *BREAK. Any help
in this regards is most appreciated.
